Rafiq-ul-Haramayn 59
After making the intention, whilst facing the Holy Ka’baĥ, move a
little towards your right so that Ḥajar-ul-Aswad is right in front of
you. (This would happen after a slight movement of yours. Now
Ḥajar-ul-Aswad is exactly in front of you and its recognition is that
the green tube light fixed opposite Ḥajar-ul-Aswad will be right
behind your back.)
(Please note that the intention made in Arabic for any act like Ṣalāĥ,
fasting, I’tikāf, Ṭawāf etc. will be valid only when one understands its
meaning. Intention may also be made in one’s native language. In
all cases, presence of intention in heart is a pre-condition. Even if one
does not make a verbal intention, the intention of heart is sufficient.
However making a verbal intention, in addition, is better).
! This is that lucky heavenly stone which has certainly
been kissed by our Beloved Rasūl ٖ
. Now raise both
hands such that both palms (of hands) face the direction of Ḥajar-ul-
Aswad and recite the following:
بِسْ‏ مِ‏ ّٰ ِ ا ّ ٰ ُ وَ‏ ا ‏َوالْحَ‏ مْ‏ ‏ُد ّ ِ ٰ ِ
ط
ّٰ ِ ا
‏َوالصَّ‏ لٰوةُ‏
‏َوالسَّ‏ لاَ‏ مُ‏ َٰ
رَسُوْ‏ ‏ِل
اَكْبرَ‏ ُ
Translation: Allah in Whose name I begin and all glorifications
are for Allah and Allah is the greatest and Ṣalāt & Salām be
on the Rasūl of Allah ٖ
.
Now, if possible, place both palms on Ḥajar-ul-Aswad and kiss it in
between your palms without producing any sound. Do this thrice.
